Abstract
With the rapid development of medical industry, there is a growing demand for disease diagnosis using machine learning technology. The recent success of deep learning brings it to a new height. This paper focuses on application of deep learning to discover senile dementia from brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. In this work, we propose a novel deep learning model based on Dense convolutional Network (DenseNet), denoted as ResNeXt Adam DenseNet (Ra-DenseNet), where each block of DenseNet is modified using ResNeXt and the adapter of DenseNet is optimized by Adam algorithm. It compresses the number of the layers in DenseNet from 121 to 40 by exploiting the key characters of ResNeXt, which reduces running complexity and inherits the advantages of Group Convolution technology. Experimental results on a real-world MRI data set show that our Ra-DenseNet achieves a classification accuracy with 97.1\(\%\) and outperforms the existing state-of-the-art baselines (i.e., LeNet, AlexNet, VGGNet, ResNet and DenseNet) dramatically.
